Arriving home with his new friend, he sees Tuomo reading on his bed. "Hey man, is it ok if I keep this dog here for a bit?"
Tuomo looks up. "What is this?" he asks excitedly.
"I found him in the courtyard. He's homeless, as far as I can tell."
"For sure, we can keep him. This is awesome." Said Tuomo excitedly as the two pet the dog. Smiles all around, and the dog happily waging its tail.
Tuomo, who barely stayed in his room and rarely slept there, offered to walk it on occasion but joked that he couldn't afford to feed it. Our friend assured him that he doesn't have to worry and that the dog is not his responsibility. Meanwhile, the dog made himself comfortable in the room.
The two roommates talked for a bit, catching up on things. Our friend was genuinely interested in his stories and how he was finding campus life so far. The two even decided a name for their new canine roommate. Felix.
After a while, Tuomo gets up to get ready for a night out. He invites our friend, who politely declines. But all seems good between the two of them now.
After getting some water for Felix, our friend heads to bed. "Good night, boy," he said to his new dog.
That night, Felix was growling and barking in his sleep. Enough to slightly wake our friend a few times, but not enough to wake him fully. This was the best sleep our friend had in quite a while.
Morning arrived, and our friend wakes up feeling well rested for once. He stretches in his bed and then recalls Felix's restless night.
"Poor guy was homeless. I can only imagine what he had to deal with out there," he thinks to himself.
